Just For Today

I cannot help tomorrow.

Its woes I've found are real.

For yesterday there's but regret,

That makes my mind yet reel.

But if I look inside me,

For solace that's sublime,

I realize "Today" alone

Is all that's really mine.

The dreams and hopes of passion,

The dance I had to miss,

The essence of your presence,

The mystery of your kiss,

That swell and ache remind me

That living hurts sometime,

That life without the loving

Is a poem with no rhyme.
